Los Corporales is a restaurant located in the moon Palace Nizuc lobby. We made a reservation for 10ppl for dinner and service and food was amazing. The tacos were spot on, very delicious. What do you expect when you're in Mexico?? I ordered the hanger steak and asked for medium rare. When it came, it was the skinniest piece of steak I've ever seen, maybe like 1cm thin! I was for sure thinking it was overcooked... To my surprise, it was rare and undercooked. I kindly asked them to recook it and I asked for medium instead. They brought me another one and it was better. Other than that mishap, my family enjoyed our time there. The desserts were all very good too. My favorites were the corn pound cake and the churros which came in a cute stand with both a chocolate and caramel dipping sauce. The Tres Leches was pretty good too but I've had better elsewhere. We came on a Wednesday night and there was the mariachi band playing. I believe they perform every Wednesday night and they would walk over to each table and perform a different song. They were pretty loud and it lasted for most of the dinner, so if you are not fond a loud music then I wouldn't recommend coming during a time that they are performing. I wasn't a fan of the loud music in my ears... So next time I would go on a day they're not there. read more

Was out in Vegas for work again and had to have this. Really good food, highly recommended

Now this restaurant serving Mexican fare from all over the country within the Nizuc at the Moon Palace Resorts was the find of our trip. This was the the only restaurant where we tried all meals of the day - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and we thoroughly thrilled by the quality and variety of the dishes they served , all authentic and never pretentious and really made very very well! There were so many dishes we tried and enjoyed that we lost count and only take back the memories of their tastes , so pardon me for not noting them all here and not describing them in detail in this review. You need to go to Cancun, stay at the Nizuc and eat at the Los Caporales to savor all that we did! No two ways about it!! Some of the star dishes we enjoyed there were Mexico City Huarache - A tortilla shaped like a slipper ( after all Huarache means footwear!) and topped with lots of diced and fried meats - pork n beef so tasty that we fought over every last bit. Nopales Huarache - the tortilla in this case is a leaf of the Cactus and topped with slivered ribbons of the same leaf ( thoroughly de-thorned of course!) so tasty that it rivaled the meat version and made it impossible to choose a winner between this and Mexico City version. We declared them both as joint winners in taste and authenticity . We also enjoyed a very funnily named dish - The Divorced Eggs - two sunny side eggs (over n' easy), one covered with red sauce and the other covered with green sauce and both separated by a line of crispy tortilla chips - The two eggs are supposed the couple who are divorcing and the tortilla being lawyers in between . Loved the play on a real life scenario and making a tasty meal out of it! For the culinary adventurers, there is a dish which was Mexican cheese enveloped in Achoyo leaves and cooked. Very unexpected flavors and total new taste to us. While some did not like it, we loved the new flavor profiles this brought to our experience. And finally the best of the best dishes - the Los Caporales Poached eggs for breakfast - regular poached eggs but the hollandaise sauce was induced with poblano peppers, corn and Mexican cream cheese . We went giddy on the first bite and savored this dish until the last bit in pin drop silence. In fact we had this as our parting meal just before we left the Resort for our flight back home ! If you are in Cancun, you must find a way to taste Mexico at the Los Caporales within the Nizuc at the Moon Palace resort! You will Love it! read more

Very yummy food, delicately cooked, and great service. They have fresh juices and amazing drinks as well.

Definitely need a reservation, or come way early or late. That's one of the perks of being a Diamond member or the guests. This is similar to a Churrascaria, but does not have as many meats. The salad bar is adequate and good with lots of variety, but not huge. The skewers of meat come slowly, and they are delicious. The sommelier brings the wine. Order the Mayan coffee. The server makes it in front of you. A good show! read more

Los Caporales - Wonderful Mexican buffet. Lots of other foods, also. - Mexican Near Me - Quintana Roo, ROO

The a la carte restaurant is located in the Nizuc portion of the Moon Palace. The 2 things I really liked were the service (excellent, very friendly server) and the decor (lovely tile work soon after entering restaurant). As for the food itself, all three of us agreed that the food was strictly average. The vegetarian and seafood options were very limited. The guacamole was better at the buffet locations - Los Caporale's guac had very little flavour, all 3 of us felt it should have been spruced up with lemon or spice. I ordered a cheese/pepper tortilla for my appetizer - it was a bit messy to eat (had to assemble on your own and the cheese isn't easy to spread), but it tasted good. For my main, I had fish/shrimp cornbread tacos. They were decent except that the fish had a very thick batter - I ended up peeling the batter off. Shrimp tacos at Nizuc's pool-side cafe were better. read more

Love the decor!! I expected more authentic Mexican food. I chose the pork with mole, pink onion, and fajitas . Meat was very tender and tasty and mole was delicious. Drinks were watered down Margaret didn't impress me. Our server was very friendly and got us all . Pumpkin pie, tres leche, rice pudding,and chocolate cake were all pretty good. I was glad I tried it. read more

So many choices of where to eat at the Moon Palace throughout Nizuc, Sunrise and The Grand. Our favorite was Los Caporales at Nizuc, which quickly become our go to restaurant during our week long stay. The food was great, service excellent, and dining experience had great experiential theater including homemade tortilla's made and cooked just outside the kitchen, the table-side guacamole, and the flaming Mayan coffee - our favorite. We were fortunate to have Mateo, Dayvi, and manager Angelica Bruno wait on our party a couple nights - they could not have been friendly, welcoming or hospitable read more

No reservation necessary. There is your sign... Coming from California I thought the only way to up the game on Mexican food is to go to Mexico. I am disappointed. Granted, this is a resort and there is probably a hole in the wall (like in LA) somewhere in Cancun where the food is excellent, but c'mon. It's Mexico and a degree of authenticity is expected. Food is tasteless. People are nice, hence two stars. read more

We visited this restaurant twice and loved the food and service each time. Definitely visit at least once if you are staying at Moon Palace. No reservation required. read more

It's in nizuc side. Nice decor, they take your orders. I had shrimp ceviche, garden salad, salmon and seafood veracruz, tortilla soup, and chocolate cake for dessert. I loved them all. All of them were way better than I expected. It might be the best one in moon palace. read more

I'm going to keep it simple. 100% best Mexican food I've ever had. It's spectacular. Went for breakfast and had enchiladas with red sauce and a fried egg, dinner I had cheese fondu, tortilla soup, homemade guacamole and chips, and chicken tacos. Love this place, going back everyday. read more

We ate here last night and this was the best meal we had on our entire trip. By Far!! Earlier in the week we went to a cooking class at the Nizuc pool that was led by Javier, the head chef at Corporales. They made Chile Rellenos that were amazing. We knew we needed to try the restaurant after that. Last night when we were seated by the kitchen, Javier spotted our son and came to visit us at the table. He brought us a special appetizer of stuffed peppers with cream cheese and shrimp....Amazing! We all ordered the Chile Rellenos for dinner. They were excellent and huge! Javier came back to take a picture with our son and that made his day. Our son wants to be a chef and when he got to wear Javier's hat, his smile stretched from ear to ear! Thank you Javier and the rest of the team at the restaurant. read more

Staff was awesome as well as the atmosphere. The meat was over cooked. I asked medium rare and I got well. Thank goodness for all inclusive.

The breakfast here is amazing with authentic Mexican cuisine. They modify your meals any way you want if you want dairy free or if you want vegetarian. You have to ask for salsa and tortillas for a more authentic Mexican meal. The sea food dishes are amazing! All of the staff is great and friendly. read more

Located on the Nizuc property of Moon Palace this restaurant has the best Guacamole ... made tableside, this guacamole is fresh, flavorful and made with as little or as much spiciness as you like. The service is this always busy establishment is excellent, the wait staff is friendly, courteous and professional. The menu selections are vast. Don't forget to top off your excellent dinner with their amazing Mayan Coffee... very entertaining and delicious to boot. We always make sure to book a reservation at this excellent Mexican Restaurant at Moon Palace! read more

IF I CLULD GIVE THIS NO STARS I WOULD. the wait was CRAZY. i get it, it's spring break and a resort but we get there and seated and it took 15 minutes for our waiter to arrive. when he did, we ordered RIGHT away. no special requests. we got chips once, we asked for more, not once but twice and didn't get anything. when we got our food it was literally the size of a quarter. I sat there thinking,, wow i waited two plus hours for this??? and then i tried it. and i was like, is this even lamb? it tastes like every kind of unknown meat out there. it was mediocre to say the least. my family had ordered sides and they did not come till after we were finished with our food! my sister ordered rice and it was so tiny! i guess the theme here is tiny! the only disappointing thing about my trip so far, actually put everyone in a bad mood. NEVER GOING BACK! read more
